Hello. Like in this thread I want to see if it is possible for me to be completely anonymous.

Like the original challenge, the reward will be given to the person that provides:

  • forum account id of 'real me'
  • any IP-address that could be traced to my real identity by authorities
  • my 'real' email address

I will use the same rules:

  • Rules are to be interpreted by me, in case of dispute, I am right, you are wrong
  • you must post here one of the above infos and a bitcoin address to which the bounty should be sent
  • you must provide a credible story of how you obtained the info
  • a 'hunch' is not enough, no guessing
  • I can change these rules at any time and will do so in OP (Original Post, the one you're reading)
  • the state of the OP at the time of claim is decisive for the rules, so please quote OP when claiming bounty

If you can find out my real name and/or address and/or telephone number, then PM me for some/all the reward.

Also like the original, I'll give away small amounts of bitcoin (0.05-0.1 BTC) to people pointing out flaws/mistakes/possible improvements regarding my anonymity. These rewards will come from the total 2.5BTC reward, so the sooner someone identifies me the more bitcoins they get.

Eventually I will allow theymos to release all info held about me, blindmixerdr (connection logs & times etc). But not yet. Also, I will soon publish the address of a bitcoin mixing service (onion address). Maybe that will give more clues.

Please note that I am trying very hard to be anonymous. But I will say that I am a long time user of this forum.

New extra rules:
  • Anything without "hard evidence" will be ignored, even if the "guess" is correct (note double quotes, even if I am only quoting "hard evidence" by Wardrick!). It needs to be something that would be strong enough to make the authorities knock on my door.
  • If you are sure you are correct but you don't have "hard evidence", then make a 0.005BTC donation to the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/donate/other/ (bitcoin address 1PC9aZC4hNX2rmmrt7uHTfYAS3hRbph4UN) or to torservers.net  https://www.torservers.net/donate.html (bitcoin address 14fadryvAkoXye2XtH4qSwSerhi7BX4rtG) and paste the transaction ID of the donation in your message. That will attract my attention, but you must still give a credible explanation. (these sites use a single bitcoin address for all donations)
  • To avoid people making lots of extra user accounts and making lots of guesses, only accounts registered before the UTC time of this post (see post number 22 of this thread) are allowed to participate.


I have created a file with my username in it:

Code:
user@host$ (echo "My username is XXX"; dd if=/dev/random bs=512 count=1|base64) > whoami.txt
user@host$ sha256sum whoami.txt
d384d430d9b421fbe8f14014fd2784105af218352fb4168ab086c28cdf427fcd  whoami.txt
user@host$

I will show the file whoami.txt if
  • You show hard evidence and you are correct or
  • You show some evidence and make the donation and you are correct
I will decide what is "strong" evidence. "Some" evidence is needed just to demonstrate you are not doing stupid random guesses.
